NEGATIVE ELECTRIC FLUID, Prepared by N. W. Seat, ML D. Hensons why it should be used instead of any other treat ment in all Febrile affections : t !Economy of Time.—As only one-seventh ot the ordinary time is required to effect a cure. •Jcl.—Rcnnomy of Money. —As it c ‘Sts but one dollar. 3rd. — Economy of Feeling.— -As it saves tiie ► ufforlng of a long sickness and the consequent treat ment; tiie annoyance of taking uausenting doses of medicine, their disagreeable operation, and the pain of lung confinement: but tittle of the fluid tming necessary, ami that pleasant in ita effects. *th.— Kconoiny of Tltouglit. — As when known, it will remove all dread and anxiety at present exist ing, respecting febrile affections; particularly while u dour friend is sick. ftth.—Kconomy of Health. —As tiie system is not reduced, and consequently racked; nor Is the fever subject to lie followed by chronic disease. (•ill.— Kconomy of Life. —As me cure is effected before and wituout reducing the patient, consequently removing, in a corresponding degree, all danger of a fatal termination. other icaserns might lie added, but these are deemed sufficient to satisfy ail classes and persons in til! condi tions of life. The abovi reasons are more particularly applicable to the immediate treatment on the first attack, but will apply with equal force to cases which have been subject ed to or have liecomo reduced, corresponding of con rse ‘o the nature of tbo case at the time it is first adminis tered. As this remedy gives so prompt, effectual and perma nent relief, in ali ordinary cases, when used soon after the attack, persons can scarcely realize that they had been really inueh sick, and very naturally conclude they wer i not attacked with fever, and if so, “it was trifling —a little cold, which gave alarm— it could have been uothing of consequence—it would have passed off with out anything—that medicine bad no effect.” The general impression on tile subject of lever is such, that thoughts not unlike the above follow tiie cure of a common case as naturally as men think at all; ami it is not until the individual has witnessed many cases that he ran fully realise the truth; and even then lie may conc.liidu them all very trifling cases, which would have readily yielded to any simple medicine, yet perwins, though they have been thus successful in perhaps hundreds of cases, must expert til at there will cases occur where there is some organic or local causo so great as to require particular attention, nr though success.ill in reducing the fever, it will again rise as tiie influence of the “Fluid” passes oil. as the exciting cause ma.y still exist. It is to guard against d'sappointiiieiit m mien cases that 1 have given and frequently refer to what l have called a “synopsis.” Remarks on Fevers in <ienerai> On tliis subject I wish to be fully understood, lly the term “fevers,” I comprehend all febrile affections to which the human frame in subject, including small pox and other eruptive fevers; but as they arise by a great variety of causes, and ill quite dissimilar constitutions and habits, tiny of course differ considerably in their development and exhibit a variety of forms or types; yet ull are distinguished by the name general character istics—that ol undue excitement in the circulatory and nervous systems —inducing more or lens unnatural fre quency in tho pulse, sense ol heat, dryness of the skin, debility, Ac. To show that I am not wholly alone in tiie opinion I advance, I quote from the celebrated l’rof. T. Watson, of King's College, London, whose work on the 11 Princi ples and Practice of Physic” is a text book in many of uui medical colleges, an J consequently standard authority. On page 834, he says:—“We bear continually, both in and out of tiie profession, different species of fever spo ken of. By the public, Typhus Fever, Brain Fever, Bilious Fever, Putrid Fever. Low Fever, Nervous Fever, Ac. And systematic writers are to the full as particular: Mucou i Fever, Ataxic, Adynamic, Castro-Enteric, and so forth. Now, admitting that fever shows Itself under various forms, I am persuaded that tho effect upon the mind of ull tliis sub-division, is bad und hurtful. It encourages a ill position, already too prevalent, to pro scribe for a disease according to its name. There is no line of genuine distinction between continued fevers, that can be relied on. They run insensibly into each other, even tho most dissimilar of them, and are often traceable to the same cause.” The above is a greaiffuet, one worthy of remembrance and l would impress on your minds the folly of hunting up or troubling you self about a “name;” if you have fever, treat It at once as hereafter directed, ami you unit be well instead of any distinctcliaracter being devel oped, so as to be properly named by tiie most scientific. This assertion is no hypothesis based on closet specula tions or visions of mind, but on experience at the bed side of the sick, in hundreds, aye, thousands of cases (by myself and others) under a great variety of cir cumstances, seasons and climates. Bear this in mind, and treat at once without regard to name, and rest assured you will soon bo freed from all dread of linger ing and dangerous fevers, ltut, as cases may have be come developed before tho “ Fluid” is given, either by neglect,, or under some other treatment, 1 will describe ns briefly as possible the proper course to bo pursued in allot the most prominent fevers, though tiie “ ltulos” and “ Synopsis” will lie amply sufficient for all those accustomed to uttondauce upou tho sic':. Rules important to b. observed in all cases in using the Negative Electric Fluid. Ist. It should bo given in three or four times its own quantity of water, and may be sweetened or not at pleasure. 2d. l'atieuts must bo lice lrom all currents of air, (though there should always be free ventilation in the sick room,) nor uttempt to go about <rhiio under its in fluence. 3d. it must bo continued whenever tho fever subsides, or is evidently passing off; to bo resumed when it begius to rise again, should such bo the case under uuy circumstances. 4th. When the fever begins to subside, putionts must bo left perfectly quiet; free from nil excitement; Bliould not bo questioned as to their wants or feelings, nor attempt to converse, read or take any exercise whatever, till their own natural feelings, independent of all extra neous influences, induce tl.em to rise or speak; nor should any conversation be allowed in their hearing, in which they may feel tuoie or loss interested, but be left quiet to all intents and purposes. 6th. Fluids should bo ullowod, while giving it as plentifully, and as long ns the patient desires and no longer; they may consist of cold water, mucilaginous drinks, lemonade, any simple decoctions, or teas, either cold or warm, as parties may prefer or patients desire. lltli. Should patients experience any oppression or faintness while in the lying posture, so ns to occasion a restlessness after the fever has passed off, or enough to occasion them to speak of it, they should have a little wiue, toddy, camphor, hartshorn, lemonade with a little spirit, ginger, or some other stimulant; or the face and breast maybe bathed in cold water; either of which will give immediate relief. TABLE OF DUSKS. For children of one year ov under, from 3 to 8 drops. “ over l and under 3 years, “ 6to 15 “ “ “'i “ 6 “> “ 12 to 30 “ 6 “ 10 “ “ 20 to 50 ” ‘‘ s “ 15 half to ai, aspoonful. All persons over fifteen considered as adults, for whom a teaspoouful is a common dose. Old persons do not require as much as young, or those in the prime of life; uor females, as a general rule, as much as males. There is no particular care necessary in giving it to children—those of ten years of age frequently having taken full doses; but for a little guide, I have given the above table, with the remark tliut, as a general rule, children require more than adults iu proportion. By observing the above directions, the medicine will be found agreeable In all of its effects, the expectations of the most sanguine realized, aud many perfectly astonished. My object in being thus particular is, that tho lull benefit of the medicine may lie obtained, aud not on account of any actual necessity of such strict ob servances. Ill lloils or Kemltteut Fewer. Hive a teaspouful of “ Fluid” (see rule lsi) ouee iu two hours, till tho fever is evidently passing off; this constitutes tho whole treatment iu all simple cases of fever, with such observances as are set forth iu tin. “ Ku'es.” But should there be prominent local symp toms. or known local existing onuses, they should be attended to at once, and whilo giving the “ Fluid.” See Synopsis. If in any case ilio b wols are particularly constipated or confined, give i , .itliartic (see auxiliaries) with the first portion ; they must be opened or the fever may rise again. ” hero the fever is very high, pulse running 110 or upwards, and the patient is not particularly susceptible to the influence of medicine—not easily operated on by inodiclno generally—a double dose, or two teospoousful may be given at first with advantage, and oven repeated in two Hours—if it—the pulse—lms not been softened, thus showing the medicine has taken effect. Bathing the surface with water at an agreeable temperature, the saline wash, vinegar or spirits aud water, tr. these difficult cases, will afford relief and aid the medicine much iu taking effect. Congestive Fever. (live two tanspoousful and repeat every two hours till the pulse becomes more full uud soft, then only a tea spoonful, to be discontinued as the fever subside!. As the bowel* are generally confined, and it is frequently very difficult to get medicine to operate in this disease, no time should bo lost (o get them open, give some active cathartic with t\\ *• Fluid’’ and ropout may b** necoe sary till it operates; enemas (injections) may also bo used to advantage; dso, mustard to tn extremities, or friction (rubbing! with the hands or flannel; also, cold Quinine may be added to tho Fluid if thought advisable.

In bail cases, from three to five grains each of quinine and capsicum (Cayetiue pepper) or some lonic and stimu lant (sue auxiliaries) should be added to euch dose. The bowels should be kept goutly open, aud small portions of some hepatic should bo given occasionally, even j though the bowels should be very loose. The patient should be sustained by nourishing and mucilagenous drinks—such as are iu common use iu such cases.— Where the skin is very dry, sponging the surlace as di rected in bilious fever, will be touiul advantageous. Tonics should lie used during Convalesce ore, in ail eases which have become reduced. Pniuimimis, Typhoid Pneumonia, Lung or Winter Fever. Given teusp,sinful of the “Fluid” every two hours, witii a wine-glassful of a strong decoction of bone set; or half the quantity may be given every hour till relieved, then, ut longer intervals, say once iu six or eight hours. The boneset tea should be given warm till the violent symptoms are allayed, or the patient is relieved ; then cold; fomentations, mustard plaster, or something of the kind, to bo applied over the seat of pain; keep the bowels gently open. Variola, Varioloid, ltul>eola and Scarla tina; or Small Pox, Varioloid, Measles, and Scarlet Fever. As all of these diseases are attended with fever -.viiieli in fact is the most prominent symptom, the treatment differs hue little from that of common fevers. Keincuibcr never wait to learn tho “name,” whether it is one or the other, or neither, as they all commence withs ver, but treat it at once; govern the fever and there will he no trouble; there will be but little, eruption even in small pox. This, to most minds, is anew idea, and doubtless will bo regarded witii ridicule by many. 1 nevertheless boldly make the assertion, that small pox, if treated as 1 direct, will be. cut short; attended with but little erup tion; little or no pitting, and that there is no necessity of its running its ordinary course. On tliis I will stake not only my reputation, but ail that 1 hold most dear; besides, on this subject, 1 have good authority; that of Prof. Watson, previously quoted. He says, page 874; “You may abate the force of the eruptive fever, und keep down, It is believed, the number if the pustules by spline purges, Ac.” Here is the admission tliat it may be done. I nave not Only proven it nutybe, but has been done in numerous cases that occurred on board ship. See the account appended. Give u teaspoouful or more, according to tho urgency of the case, with a dose of salts or castor oil; repeat the Fluid once in two hours if necessary, until the fever sub sides—though one or two doses is genera ly sufficient; but it should bo given and repeated sufficiently to keep tho fever under control. When the throat is affected, any of the ordinary gargles may be used, and the surface bathed, as thought advisable. In one case, on the ship Duchess d’Orleans, the tongue and I'uucuh were so much swollen that tho patient could not swallow or speak, and lie was cured by dropping tho Fluid on liis tongue, drop by drop, till lie could swallow, when h was given in teaspoonful doses every hour, till all alarming symptoms disappeared. The swelling of the throe t was reduced so as to enable him to take uour inffiiteftSin about twelve hours by the Fluid alone.— Used to wet tho throat frequently, it is doubtless the best gargle in all such cases. Puerperal or Childbed Fever. Tliis heretofore painful, dangerous and alarming malady to which the mother is liable, will yield to tiie Negative Electric Fluid with such readiness, as to seem to be of little consequence. A single dose or two of a teaspoouful, almost invariably gi\ing entire and per manent relief; no alarm need be entertained, as the Fluid will arrest it iu a short time. It should be re peated as long os the fiver continues, us in other cases. The bowels of course should be attended to. In conuection with tliis subject, 1 cannot refrain from making a few general remarks, which, if regarded by the indies, will save them much pain and suffering. It is to inform them of tiie happy effect of the Fluid in many of their trials. In child-birth, its relaxing and soothing effect deprives the labor of much of its pains aud difficulties; it must bo tried to be appreciated.— Painful menstruation will be relieved at once by a com mon dose and retiring. Restlessness, nervous irritability, or a cold taken at adelicato time, is easily relieved by its use; in short, it is one of the most convenient and effectual remedies for many of the ills of females, if not the most so of any medicine known. Its effect is uniform, relaxing the whole system, removing all excitability aud iritability of the nervous as well as the circulatory. It will not force sleep like opiates, but it will sooth and quiet the system so that one can sleep naturally and healthy; hence its use in so many cases. Synopsis. To avoid constant repetition, and condense tho treat ment as much as possible, 1 give under this head general directions for all cases. As tho Negative Electric Fluid will change tiie condition called lever, or subdue aud control it under all circumstances, without regard to tho name it may be or ought to lie called, it should be given wherever or whenever it exists; yet it cannot be ex pected to control all organic or local causes, which, when such exist, must be removed in order to effect a permanent cure. When such indications occur iu any case, they should bo appropriate means, and these soliuld bo given while giving the “Fluid,” and in connection with it, when occasion requires, as they will then rnora l-eadily act, producing more geueral effect, besides uo unnecessary time will then bo lost. As the Fluid” alono will sub due the fever, I call all else auxiliary treatment. If the bowels are costive, give a cathartic (see auxili aries) with tho first dose, or soon after, and should it fail to operate in duo tiuio, repeat tho dose; if attended “’ith diarrhoea, give something known to bo good for that complaint, though if cuused by irritability, the Fluor’ will soon relieve Omt lunj/iluu , ir severe local pain or inflammation, apply some stimulating liniment, a mustard plaster, a bjister, fomentations of hitter herbs, or, perhaps, cloths wet in cold water, to the part; if violent pain in the head, apply cold water, ice water, if convenient, or some cooling application, anil bathe tho feet in hot water; if the fever is very high, skin dry and hot, with great suffering, sponge or bathe the whole surface with water at an agreeable temperature; “the saline wash,” vinegar and water or spirits and water, either will afford great relief and aid the medi cine in takiug effect, after which there will be no trou ble; if the patient has been reduced or is much prostra ted, give tonics and stimulants, particularly in low fevers, in absence of fever or when indicated; also, during convalescence, when tho patient has become re duced: if there is nausea and vomiting, that must be allayed before any medicine will remain on the stomach to do any good; for this purpose I generally give sonic geutle emetic to cleanse the stomach ; warm water, if given plentifully, will answer every purpose; when the stomach lias settled, give the “ Fluid” and a cathartic if necessary ; in short, treat all the prominent symptoms as yon would under any other circumstances, giving tho “ Fluid” at the same time as directed, and success Will crown your efforts; indeed, you cunnot realize it till you have seen, and then you will be astonished at tho ease witii which you can control all febrile excitement. Auxiliaries. Parties may feel at a loss to know what is meant by cathartics, Ac., as physicians are usually particular about what is used. 1 have found uo such necessity when using the Fluid, and to tie fully understood by all, 1 will name a lew of tho different articles of medi cine I have referred to, viz:— Cut It art Us.—Articles that purge or operate on the bowels, such as castor oil, salts, senna, any of the roots or barks, and many pills, antibillous, Ac.; anything known to be good for such purposes. He pit tica.—Anything known to act on the liver particularly, portal circulation and secretions generally. Any of the articles depended on by the different schools for this purpose, will answer when used iu conuection with the “ Fluid” or while the system is under its in fluence. And ouo may chouse calomel—another, blue mass—tho third, podopliyllin—the fourth, mandrake root, and so on; each may take his choice and bo suc cessful. Tonics.— Articles that glvo tone or strength, such as quinine, various barks, roots and bitter herbs. Bone set or thorough wort is one of the best used iu fevers. Astringent*.— Such its check the action of the bowels. Laudanum and other preparations of opium are used; also, mixtures, not properly astringents, which have the effect. Stimulants.— Articles that raise or excite the system. Capsicum (Cayenne pepper) is one of tiie best; ginger, spirits, hartshorn, Ac., tlie essences are all more or less stimulating. These are the only classes necessa ry in treating fevers, though many others are generally used, imt the Negative Electric Fluid is a better “dia plioreue,” “anodyne,” “diuretic,” “relaxant” and sedative than known in the materia medica I shall not tax the reader with along list 0 f proofs depending mainly on tho results of trial, and will only rotor u. one instance of success, that on the Pucketsltip Duchess D’Orleans. which cannot be classed among ordinary certificates • We, tho undersigned, certify to tiie following viz— Me took passage on the psrkeUllip Duchess d’Orleans Cupt Hutton, then lying iu the port of Havre. France’ and bound lor New York. She sailed on the 9th of An’ gust, 1861, with over a hundred souls on board, mostlv emigrants- A few days alter leaving Havre, the small P°x broke out among tho emigrants, They were all treated by the physician in charge,Dr. X.

OH MIASMA. fl’llK.'SE diseases are common to many localities ol the X United .States; but wherever they prevail, North, i South, East or West, they all equally spring from the I same uiiasmal cause. The great variety ul symptoms aud | forms of disease is owing principally to difference in age, t sex, constitution and habits of the sufferers; but as the ! cause is tho same, they wilt all equally yifld to u remedy j that 1h competent to overcome or remove that cause. By tiie laws of Nature, every principle has its opposite, j and for every disease, or cuiiho of disease, there isare i agent, or in other words a specific remedy. All .Malaria, whether arising from Marshes. Stagnant water, decompo ! sitiou of auiuud and vegetable matter, or even newly cleared lands, is the same iu character and effect; is a poi son floating in tiie utmospliere, causing disease toall who breathe it. In accordance with those unalterable laws governing tho unerring affinity subsisting between op posites, there is in the preparation before us, off ered to the public, The Natural Antidote to Malai-iu, which neutralizes the poison whenever it conus in con tort with it, even in the open air, and when taken inter nally completely purifies the system affected by itoi its baneful influence, and thus restores und preserves health. The remedy is believed to be entirely new, and un known to any but the proprietor, who distinctly claims the following extraordinary results from its use : It will instantly check the ague in persons who have suffered fir any length of time, from one duy to twenty years, ami by continuing its use, according to the direc tions, a radical cure will bo effected ; tin: patient contin uing free lrom the complaint for ever; unless subsequent exposure to inaluriu should make its use again necessary. in its operation upon the poison in the system, it will immediately relieve all the distressing symptoms of bil ious or ague diseases, und when the disease is cured, it will entirely prevent the accession of General Debility and Night Sweats, which so often follow the administration of other mode cines. The patient at once begins to reever appetite and strength, and continues to improve until restored to perfect health. By its use Fever and Ague may be banished from every family and class in the community; farmers, me chanics, and all laboring people may be using this arti cle as a Preventive, And puisne their respective avocations in perfect safety from ague or bilious attacks during the sickly season, which is often to them tiie most valuable part of the year. Since tho introduction of the CURE in every- part of the United States, its success has been so complete and unvarying as to have fully proved these assertions in favor of its extraordinary merit. M'lien these declarations were made, at the date of its introduction, they seemed incredible to many, even of tho most candid minds, because alt the resources cf science had been taxed in vain to subdue ague or bilious diseases; and what was still worse for ague sufferers, all their remedies or treatment, whether scientific or empirical, have been limited to poisonous or destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine, Mercery, Salicine, Ac. Tho effects of these are sometimes worse than the disease they subdue, and when such remedies fail, or give only temporary relief, their poisonous effects are superadded to tiie poor sufferer’s first complaint. On this account ague sufferers should lie particularly careful about using any secret Fever and Ague remedies, notwithstanding the makers of them uniformly assert they may be taken with perfect safety, even when it is notoriously well known that their potency depends solely upon destructive poisons. Now, as a proof that the Remedy is not only valuable on account of its power to cure diseases, but that it is also M iii'iliy of Public Confidence, Because of its Singular aiul Kill ire Ilarmlessiiess, The iollowing certificate from one of the most celebrated chemists in the United States lias been obtained, and a copy of it is attached to evei y bottle: New York, June 11, 1855. “I have made a chemical examination of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, and have tested it for Arsenic, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have not found a particle of either in it, nor have Ifound any substance in its composition that would prove inju rious to the constitution. “JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist.” It i-t a stubborn fact, therefore, that this Remedy is destined not only to relieve the human family from malarious diseases, but to do an equally good work by preventing tiie taking of other medicines which do harm. The entiro absence of any baneful ingredient makes this Remedy not more valuable as a Cure, than it is as a preventive. No class of disease is so easily managed ns the one under consideration, if the medicine be taken iu advance. This is owing to tho diseases being produced by ono and the same cause, and therefore all, both residents and travelers, should protect themselves by tiie timely use of this preventive, and not wait for tiie poison already lurking in tlieir veins, to develop itself in a violent attack. Take tho Cure as a preventive, and so destroy tiie poison before it does harm. Full directions and advice as to diet and habits of life prepared by a distinguished Physician long resident in a Bilious climate now accompany each bottle. It will often be found necessary’ to precede this medi cine by a mild cathartic or antibilious purgative. The very best tiling for general use is a moderate dose of CustorOil, the object of which is to cleanse the stomach aud free the biliary passages. Remember that where tliis is necessary, or there is costiveness, it must be taken or tiie operation of the antidote will be seriously ob structed. Only Caution.— ln certain specified cases, pour the contents of one or more bottles of the Cure into shallow vessels, (dining plates,) and place them in sleeping rooms; for the vapor rising from the medicine, and also tiie air wafted across, or circulated over tiie dregs of it, after tiie liquid is evaporated, will counteract aud destroy, to a degiee commensurate with its expo sure, the miasmata or poison contained in tho apartment. This modo of exhibiting the Cnro should likewise be resorted to when ve’y young infants are exposed to malarious situations. The bottles in which tliis medicine is put up have tiie words, “Rhodes’ F’ever and Aoue Cure” blown in the glass, and on the outside wrapper is the name of the medicine, (tiie copyright of which is secured) and the signature of the proprietor. These precautions are taken to prevent counterfeits and imitations. The reliance for its success is entirely upon its actual merits, wherever introduced and used. These will bo considered sufficient.

Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: —1 have just sent an order to Ames & Halliday for another half gross of your Fever aud Ague Cure. It has sold like “ Hot Cakes,” and I have only two bottles on hand. One reason it has sold, is because when I have heard of a case of Aguo or Chill F’ever, I have seut a bottle and teld them to try it, and if it did not help them, they were not obliged to pay for it, and they were all satisfied. 1 had one case of Chill Fever where it run four days, but the man came to see me on tho sixth day well satisfied. Truly yours, JOHN P. GLADDING. 24 Bottles Perform 24 Cures. Moline, 111., Sept. 24, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes —Dear Sir —Tho box of “Ague Cure” you sent us has all been sold and created a large demand for more; to meet which we have ordered from your general agent at Chicago, J. D. Yerrington. Its sale will only be equalled by the number of F’ever and Aguo cases. Hoping these cases may be few’, yet have a bottle for every case. M'e remain respectfully yours, RICHARDS A ALLEN. 19 Bottles Perform 19 Cures. LETTER FROM A POSTMASTER. Maxwell. Delaware Cos., Ohio, Aug. 19,1855. Mr. J. A.

Pine Run, Mich., July 21, 1855. Dr. J. A. Rhodes —Dear Sir—Your Cure for the F’ever and Ague has thus far performed wonders, It has not failed in one instance to effect a quick and permanent cure.

Truly yours, LATHROP & MCLEAN. Cure of Panama Fever. Providence, Sept. 22, 1855. Mr. James A. Rhodes—Having been entirely cured by your remedy, I take pleasure in assuring you of the benefit it has been to me. I was first attacked by chills and fever on the Isthmu sf Panama, several months since, and in spite of th ■ different remedies aud treatment I adopted, my heal 1 . grew worse until I commenced the use of your Fever and Ague Cure. — Since that, time I have not had a single chill, and am now in the enjoyment of good health. Wishing yjur m -diciue the success that it merits, I remain truly yours, THOMAS G. ANDREWS. I. O. O. F. In another column of to-day’s paper will be found an advertisement for “Rhodes’ Fever and Ague Cure.” We are not in the habit of puffing medicines, but desire to say, for the benefit of the afflicted, that Wm. N. Rowe, Merchant, Sharpsburg, who has it for sale, in forms us tliai lie sold several dozen bottles, and in every case it has effected a cure. This proves the medi cine to be good, and we take pleasure in bringing it before the notice of the public. —Odd Fellow, lioonsboro. Ml. Sept. 4. Evidence front a Clergyman. Plymouth, Richland Cos., Ohio, Sept. 25,1855. Mr. J. A. Rhodes, —Dear Sir—l cheerfully testify to the value of your Antidote to Malaria. One young lady in tiie family of a clergyman here has been taking an “AGUE BALSAM” for some months without any per manent benefit—a few days since she got a bottle of the Cure and lias not had a chill since. A young man also used the same Balsam some time without relief until he got a bottle of your Cure. So far it works like a charm. Yours truly, Rev. A. C. DUBOIS. Unsolicited Evidence from a Physician. Monticello, Ind., Aug. 27, 1855. J. A. Rhodes—Dear Sir—l have been in the practice of Medicine here for about three years, and can con scientiously recommend your medicine, having used it myself and prescribed it in a number of instances with perfect success. Respectfully yours. W. G. SPENCER. Louisville No. 11, C. R. R„ Ga., Jan. 1, 1856. Your Ague Cure lias overcome all prejudices by its merits, and given satisfaction. A gentleman just called who lias been fully cured by only one bottle, and de sired me to recommend it to everybody. I shall do all I can in its sale. “w. A.HAYLES. If any body desires further evidences, they will find it in every bottle of the CURE, which is being intro duced as rapidly as possible in’.o every town and village in the United states, Canadas. Ac. The eminent chem ist, l)r. J. K. Chilton, of New York, certifies to its per fect ir.noecnee. Tt is therefore optional with all to have tiie Fever and Ague or not, just as they please. I can also say that a great many of my largest custo mers are those who a year ago were reluctant even to take the Cure on commission. They thought its great claims and pretensions could not he realised. Now they endorse them all, and it will be noticed that the letters of which l publish su h immense quantities are always new and late dates—altogether they would more than fill any newspaper, and prove the fact of a greater suc cess and sale than ever attended any other Ague Remedy. The Crowning Glow of the Cure is its HARMLESS CHARACTER, which allows its free use as a preventive. Thus protected by using a bottle or two during the warm and sickly sea sons, not a man woman or child in the United States would ever have a single attack of Fever and Ague, Bilious or Yellow- Fever, or any form of disease arising from the atmospheric poison Malaria, to which the Cure is a perfect antidote. I’ is also unequalled for quick und permanent effects as a Restorative, giving new life and strength to all whose constitutions have been shattered or weakened by Ague or Bilious diseases, night sweats, languor and de bility or any kind of Intemperance or dissipation.
